Study in Canada without IELTS

In Canada, Designated Learning Institutions (or DLIs – schools that admit international students) set their own requirements for the language proficiency of international students. This means that some schools have very strict requirements for English proficiency and other schools have very relaxed requirements for English proficiency. They want to know if International Students are comfortable working in English or French, but there are exceptions.
If you are planning to study in Canada, you should research the requirements for the colleges and universities where you want to study. Some schools, like Seneca College or Cambrian College, offer admission without IELTS, allow students to complete some English courses after they start at the school.
